The Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole has said the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi does not have what it takes to win the 2027 election.
In an interview with Mic On Podcast on Sunday, the lawmaker claimed that Peter Obi lacks reputation, citing his alleged inability to manage and resolve party crisis.
Oshiomhole said the former governor of Anambra State cannot be taken by his own words, pointing out how he (Obi) failed to keep his promise of staying put in the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
“Peter Obi has no reputation, you cannot take him by his words. First he said he was not going to leave APGA when Ojukwu handed the party to him and the party produced him as a governor.
“After that Obi joined a party because he wanted to be a vice president but he was defeated, in stead of staying back to strategize, Obi left and went to Labour Party because he doesn’t want to do primaries.
“Labour Party handed over the ticket to him, on a platter of gold. According to him, he got eight million votes. Common sense will prescribe that you manage that platform, invest in it and deal with all eternal challenges, but he wanted where food is ready and left the Labour Party.
“He wanted to ADC and they forcefully took over the leadership of the party but when they said there will be a primary election and because he doesn’t want to go through the first stage of election, he went to join NDC,” Oshiomhole said.
